What Are the Spirit Pages?
Every fall, The Sun Times News reserves the centerfold of the paper to celebrate our local high school teams: the Chelsea Bulldogs, Dexter Dreadnaughts, Saline Hornets, and Milan Big Reds — and 2026 marks the first year the Spirit Pages are coming to Milan! The Spirit Pages run in the August 25th edition. Our papers normally hit mailboxes on Thursday, but with the first home games falling on Thursday this year, this special edition will be delivered a day early — so your ad is in readers’ hands before kickoff.
Spirit Pages hang in storefront windows and family homes across all four communities for the entire season, and they’re handed out at the games. Your ad stays in front of local fans from the first kickoff to the final whistle.
